Harvard Poetry In America Series Tuition Increase to $1000

[eriehiker]

I did review the catalog to see if there are any interesting options. One thing I noticed is that the graduate certificate in American Literature and Culture requires 16 graduate credits that can be completed by taking three four credit classes and two two credit classes. The poetry classes would cost $1000 and fulfill the humanities side of the certificate and then a person would need to hunt down two full-priced two credit social science courses. I didn't find any with just a cursory look, but the certificate can be completed through a three year period. If the credits came in at a per credit cost of $750 to a thousand per credit, that would end up being about $7000 total with the new pricing for a Harvard grad. certificate and membership in the Harvard Extension alumni association. Is that a good deal?

HIST E-1604
The Plymouth Colony

This one is a 2 credit social science "active weekend" course for $1400 or so during the first weekend in April 2020.

HIST E-1607B
Boston in the American Revolution

This one is in February of 2020. Again, it is 2 credits and costs $1400.

So, that's it. For those on this board who have completed three of the poetry classes, it would cost $2800 additional to take these two social science courses, earn the American Lit. and Culture grad certificate and become Harvard Extension alumni members.

At the original $250 price, that would be $3500 out the door if you slept on a park bench in Cambridge.
